The speedy Pick led AL third basemen in errors (42) in 1916 during his lone season with the Athletics. Two years later, after a mid-season callup, he started at second base for the Cubs in the 1918 World Series and hit .389. (BC)

FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY » April 12, 1916: On Opening Day the Red Sox scratch Ernie Shore as their starter and Babe Ruth goes eight innings for a 2–1 win over the Athletics at Boston. The A's score their only run following Babe's throwing error, and Rube Foster gets the last three outs. The Babe hands the loss to poor Jack Nabors. A poor throw by Charlie Pick, A's 3B, is the first of his 42 errors—worst for any 20th-century 3B. This contributes to his overall .899 fielding average, a mark that Butch Hobson would equal in 1978. » August 23, 1916: Ty Cobb goes from 1B to 3B on a teammate's single to LF, then swipes home when A's 3B Charlie Pick holds the ball. Detroit wins 10–3. » September 7, 1918: On one day's rest, Hippo Vaughn gives up only seven hits, but Carl Mays wins a 2–1 duel. Wally Schang has two hits for Boston. Game three ends with the Cubs' Charlie Pick caught in a rundown between 3B and home while trying to score on a passed ball.
